“When a two-liter cola is 99 cents and blueberries are over three dollars, something has gone very wrong,” DeLauro told attendees.

Heck - when anything is cheaper than a similar amount of water, there's something seriously wrong --- with the consumers who allow it.

We’ve been warning folks about this very thing for years.This is how it starts, and you can bet your ass fast-food is next.

Funny thing.....th more they push this Obesity/Diabetes prevention measures (pft) the heavier and heavier people are getting. What they are doing Is not only not working, it is, as government programs always do, making any problem a whole lot worse! I personally know about 10 people who were never heavy before, and now they are, while they are following these so called guidelines. I also know several people who are all of a sudden diabetic.

Go to any health care agency of facility, I defy you to
find a dietitian (rare) or 10 people total who are not very overweigh.
